Inside Petal & Root: A Handcrafted Herbal Oil for Radiant Skin

Petal and Root Facial Oil

Now, about this oil…

Yes—it’s dark. And it’s intentional.

I created this facial oil with my own skin in mind. As someone who still experiences breakouts later in life (especially when using many commercial cleansers and moisturizers), I wanted something that was gentle, balancing, and full of botanical support.

This blend begins with an infusion of dried flowers into a base of jojoba, castor, pumpkin seed, and vitamin E oils:

  • Calendula – calming, anti-inflammatory, known for its skin-soothing and healing properties

  • Chamomile – gentle, antioxidant-rich, and perfect for calming reactive skin

  • Blue Lotus – deeply soothing, antioxidant, and often used to promote a balanced complexion

  • Jasmine – supports moisture balance, promotes healing, and soothes inflammation

  • Rose Petals – rich in antioxidants, helps tone and hydrate, reduces redness, and supports a youthful glow

  • Hibiscus – often called the “Botox plant,” it’s high in vitamin C and supports skin firmness and hydration

  • Lavender – calming, antibacterial, and supportive for troubled skin

The carrier oils bring their own benefits:

  • Jojoba Oil – lightweight and non-comedogenic, it mimics skin’s natural sebum, making it ideal for hydration without clogging pores

  • Castor Oil – rich and moisturizing, with properties that help calm breakouts and inflammation

  • Pumpkin Seed Oil – high in vitamin A and zinc, supports cell turnover and skin renewal

  • Vitamin E – antioxidant-rich and nourishing


Once the floral infusion is complete and strained, I enrich the blend further with skin-nourishing oils:

  • Rosehip Seed Oil – known for its rejuvenating, skin-brightening properties and ability to support even tone and texture

  • Tamanu Oil – rich in fatty acids and known for supporting skin regeneration, especially helpful for scarring or blemish-prone skin

  • Brazil Nut Oil – packed with selenium and vitamin E, it deeply nourishes and helps protect the skin barrier

  • Cherry Kernel Oil – lightweight and gentle, it helps soften skin and is rich in antioxidants that support elasticity

  • Sea Buckthorn Oil – a vibrant oil high in vitamin C and omega-7, it helps reduce redness and supports skin repair

  • Squalane Oil – fast-absorbing and non-greasy, it mimics skin’s natural oils and helps lock in lasting moisture

  • Helichrysum Essential Oil – often called “immortelle,” it’s known for its regenerative properties and is helpful for calming inflamed or stressed skin

  • Blue Tansy Essential Oil – soothing and aromatic, it calms reactive skin and lends a natural blue hue to the blend

This carefully selected combination of plant-based oils and herbs works in harmony to calm, nourish, and renew the skin—offering a gentle, botanical option for those seeking a more grounded approach to facial care.

This facial oil was created to offer balance, moisture, and gentle support for skin that needs a little extra care—without the harsh ingredients.

Please consult with a doctor if you are pregnant or nursing. When Your Hands Tell the Story: Menopause and Dry, Cracking Skin Our hands do it all — garden, cook, comfort, carry — and during menopause, they begin to show just how much they’ve given. If you’ve noticed your hands suddenly feeling dry, thin, or even cracking more than usual, you're not alone. These shifts are common and often catch us off guard, even when we’re taking great care of the rest of our skin. Why Does Menopause Hit Your Hands So Hard? During menopause, declining estrogen levels affect your skin’s natural moisture barrier.
